		<description><![CDATA[I hope you all had a safe and enjoyable Fourth of July.  In honor of Independence Day I’ve prepared a special triple-feature for you: a grab-bag of news items representing the three biggest threats to your individual liberties and well-being as an American: Big Business, Big Religion, and Big Government.  These categories, while not perfect, adequately cover most groups, individuals, political movements, and ideologies at work in the world right now which threaten your freedoms: freedom of speech, economic freedom, scientific freedom, artistic freedom, and property rights, including the environment-oceans, atmosphere, groundwater, climate-which is our mutual property.

The categories aren’t mutually-exclusive, there are internal divisions within the groups, and some individuals or factions might actually pursue the agenda of another group, even if it may be to the detriment of themselves or their own class.  For example, a wealth corporate executive, a man who most would assume would pursue the interests of Big Business, might actually give money and political support to the advancement to the cause of either Big Religion or Big Government, even if such might harm his business interests in the long-term.  Also, it should be noted that both Big Business and Big Religion seek to harness the power of Big Government-the largest, wealthiest, and most powerful of the trio-to pursue their own agendas.  Big Government helps the other two grow, but as it is also the most directly accountable to the people and the most powerful of the three, it can be used to crush down the other two to manageable levels before cutting itself down to size.  Government must be the means the people have to defend their rights, and thus it must occasionally intervene in personal matters, including matters of commerce and religion, but just as there is not always martial law, the government ought to be, in its day-to-day state, small and unobtrusive.

First, let’s start off with Big Government:]]></description>
